NOT Currently Taking NEW Clients!. I have been working with families/children for over 33 years. During this time, I've conducted research on family issues such as non-traditional family structure, teen age parenting and academic competence. Also during this time, I have worked in Therapeutic Foster care and have taught courses in Parenting and LifeSpan Development at Oklahoma State University. All families have strengths. It is important to recognize these strengths and build on them for change and improved family functioning. Let me help you find the strength to change and become empowered for you and your family.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and difficult and it can make it hard to see the light beyond what darkness you feel you’re trapped in. I help individuals seek and identify tools and support that will help them navigate these struggles and come out of that darkness with hope and stability. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems, but I like to incorporate techniques from rational emotive behavior therapy as well. I am experienced in providing individual, group, crisis, and family therapy.

** No openings at this time. Waitlist option available at www.lilyfield.org/counseling ** I believe that we are shaped, but not defined by our experiences, and that having a safe and supportive place to process those experiences can be healing. Humans are built for connection, and my goal is to help clients reach a place where they feel connected to their authentic selves and are able to connect with those who are important to them. I seek to empower my clients by helping them make sense of their history, imagine what a hopeful future might look like, and realize the great resources they already have access to within themselves.

Reaching out for help is not a weakness or proof that something is broken. Instead, it takes courage and is rooted in hope. My passion is to tap into and foster the very hope and courage that brings people into therapy. From a family systems perspective, I work within the context of relationships such as couples, parent/child, siblings or other interpersonal relationships. I believe a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is crucial to helping others find solutions and achieve their goals.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I take an integrative approach to counseling. I see the client as a unique individual, and I purpose to meet them wherever they are at. This is called Client Centered Therapy. I enjoy working with Adults, Couples, and teens.

People are uniquely shaped by their early relationships, especially family relationships and subsequent life experiences. By participating in counseling people can address their struggles, strengths and life choices. I strive to provide a safe, encouraging and respectful environment where those committed to therapy and change are able to find solutions.

I have provided counseling services to a broad spectrum of clients including children, adolescents, and Adults. I strive to help my clients solve their day to day stressors and achieve stability in their lives. My style is warm, flexible, and interactive. I usually use a variety of counseling modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, play and different forms of art based therapy, family systems therapy etc to suit the unique nature of the problem being worked on and the needs of specific clients.

Our first relationships are the foundation on which we build all future relationships. If our foundation is shaking, unreliable, or scary we develop a sense of disconnectedness or that we are in some way lacking. This feeling of vulnerability leads us to act in ways we don’t understand. Some may find themselves being overly clingy/controlling for fear that they may be left alone. Some have self-doubt leading to Anxiety, Depression, or addiction. While others shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves. We all have needs and it’s okay to have them met but how we do that can be more destructive than helpful.

Hey there, I’m really glad you’re here! It can sometimes be a scary thing to look into counseling and you’ve braved this first big step. While I’m not sure what brought you here, I’m hopeful that together we can discover your healing journey ahead. Counseling is often a deeply personal experience and because of that it looks quite different for each person. Whether you are seeking to heal from trauma, bring balance into your life, find clarity and peace, or just seeking guidance during a difficult transition, I hope to help.

I work with individuals (adults and children), couples, and families who aspire to heal, grow, and find fulfillment. While some elements of life are our choice, some issues are outside of our control. I offer guidance and support in navigating life’s challenges while developing resilience and setting boundaries to protect yourself in a difficult world. My deep understanding of diverse backgrounds and generational trauma ensures a therapeutic environment where I will listen to your unique experiences, and acknowledge that your experiences may not be the same as mine or others.
